Research for a Post: Printers that handle index cards well - 43 I've had great luck printing cheapie 3x5 cards on my HP Deskjet 5500.

I've got an Epson R200 - I want to print on real 3x5 index cards - not overpriced Avery perf sheets. (!) If I were able to just print her copies, that would be super.Printing 3×5 cards on Epson LQ-590 or LQ-300 impact printers The other reason that I am working on doing this at this moment is that one of my young friends, who is getting married this month, has expressed an interest in copying all my index cards. I’m now using an apple computer and the files don’t translate over well.

I’ve done that in past with my now broken laser printer and my previous windows machine. I’m not looking for anything fancy in terms of formatting, just so I can read it. Once I’ve set up the print margins on a file once, I can use that card as a template for future. Either something that would stick on to the front of my fridge or there is one cabinet door that would work.įor now, I’d rather slide an index card into the frame of my cabinet, so I’m still looking for a laser printer. I would be very limited on locations for something like that. I can see using a tablet if I could get some kind of holder that would attach to the front of an eye level cabinet, so will consider that for future. Being left handed meant grabbing those knifes from the “wrong” side or else with my “wrong” hand. Honestly, I like the knife block that replaced it better anyway. I used to have something like this that stored knives, but it went away when we replaced and reconfigured the cabinets. I do not have room in my kitchen to add a pull down cookbook holder. Habeed, I do appreciate the links and ideas, thank you. So, anybody use their laser printer this way? I’d like the printer to be capable of pulling the card through reasonably straight so the print isn’t off kilter, (great idea about looking at the path the paper needs to take through the computer, Mangetout) but my question to all here is if you have or know of a specific printer that allows you to leave 3 x 5 cards in one of the paper drawers without having to leave a drawer hanging open or adjust it down to 3 x 5 each time you print an index card. Also, dont like those fuzzy little edges, then tend to suck up liquid more than the plain old 3 x 5s. And I don’t want to “have to” save up recipes three at a time to make best use of the paper. A good percentage of my recipes do not fit on one side of a 3 x 5 card, so I want the ability to print a “page 2” on the back of the same card. I’d really rather use regular 3 x 5 cards than deal with specialty paper.

They will keep becoming better and cheaper and I think will eventually replace most uses for paper. Tablets are the future, though, and you might as well get with the program now. If the tablet is ever destroyed, as long as you saved your data to the cloud (using google drive, dropbox, Mozy, etc) you lose nothing and can get your recipes back with zero losses. They make these cookbook holdersthat screw under cabinets - put the tablet on top of one of those. Or you can just put the tablet in a fairly robust case and do that instead.

Note you can purchase about 3 $50 tablets for what this will cost you (printer + toner cartridge + cardstock), and then you’ll have to set up the print margins to print onto each card separately - another time consuming endeavor. You can then just buy a quality laser printer - these are supposed to be the most bang/buck ones, per the website Wirecutter. They do make printers capable of handling 3x5 cards, but the printers are significantly more expensive.

Once you ruin it, you buy another.Īnyways, the easiest way to do what you describe is to just buy full sized paper with the cards embedded in it, like this. That’s why I linked a tablet that costs only $50.
